==== Economic development and trade missions ====
Little focused on economic development as lieutenant governor, helping persuade energy bar producer [[Clif Bar]] to build a new food manufacturing plant in Idaho in 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/05/02/3164594/candidates-for-lt-gov-differ-on.html |title=Candidates for lieutenant governor differ on role &#124; State Elections &#124; Idahostatesman.com |website=www.idahostatesman.com |access-date=26 January 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140814182752/http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/05/02/3164594/candidates-for-lt-gov-differ-on.html |archive-date=14 August 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Idaho Officials Move at the Speed of Business|url=http://bxjmag.com/idaho-officials-move-at-the-speed-of-business/|access-date=1 October 2018|website=Bxjmag.com}}</ref>

Little also took part in and led several trade missions. He led a Friendship Mission to [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]] in Spain in 2010, during which he met President of the Basque Government [[Patxi López]]. During this meeting, Little and López agreed to establish a Basque Economic Development Office in Boise that "would provide resources and services for Idaho and Basque companies to ease collaboration on research, sales and collaborative programs."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://idahoreporter.com/little-comes-back-from-basque-visit-with-several-agreements/|title=Home - Idaho Freedom Foundation|website=idahoreporter.com|access-date=1 October 2018|archive-date=24 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150224094852/http://idahoreporter.com/little-comes-back-from-basque-visit-with-several-agreements/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Little later signed the Euskadi-Idaho Friendship Agreement, which affirms the friendship and cultural affinity between the Basque Country and Idaho, which has the largest Basque community outside Spain.<ref>Cenarrusa Foundation for Basque Culture, {{cite web|url=https://idahopolicy.wordpress.com/tag/cenarrusa-foundation-for-basque-culture/ |title=Cenarrusa Foundation for Basque Culture &#124; Roy Eiguren, Idaho attorney and lobbyist |access-date=2014-08-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819085513/https://idahopolicy.wordpress.com/tag/cenarrusa-foundation-for-basque-culture/ |archive-date=2014-08-19 }}</ref>

The [[Idaho Department of Commerce]] estimated that the mission resulted in sales of more than $30 million.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://lgo.idaho.gov/pdf/12-15-2011,%20Idaho%20ag%20leaders%20believe%20trade%20mission%20a%20success.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120502015557/http://lgo.idaho.gov/pdf/12-15-2011,%20Idaho%20ag%20leaders%20believe%20trade%20mission%20a%20success.pdf |archive-date=2012-05-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==== Tenure ====
In March 2020, Little gained attention for signing two bills into law that addressed [[transgender rights|transgender people]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hrc.org/blog/amid-global-pandemic-idaho-governor-brad-little-prioritizes-and-signs-anti|title=Idaho Governor Brad Little Signs Anti-Transgender Legislation}}</ref> The first bans transgender women and girls from [[transgender people in sports|competing]] in women's sports, citing possible unfair physical advantages.

== Political positions ==

=== Abortion ===
In late April 2021, Little signed House Bill 366, effectively [[Six-week abortion ban|prohibiting abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy]], making exceptions for victims of rape, incest, and for medical emergencies. He also said, "We should never relent in our efforts to protect the lives of the preborn" and "Hundreds and hundreds of babies lose their lives every year in Idaho due to abortion, an absolute tragedy."<ref>{{Cite web|author=Caroline Kelly|title=Idaho GOP governor signs 'heartbeat' abortion ban into law|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/27/politics/idaho-heartbeat-abortion-ban/index.html|access-date=2021-11-01|website=CNN|date=28 April 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=April 27, 2021|title=Gov.

In March 2022, Little signed Senate Bill 1309 modeled after the [[Texas Heartbeat Act]] that prohibited abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.

In April 2023, Little signed State House Bill 242, which prohibits "recruiting, harboring, or transporting" minors across state lines for abortions without explicit parental consent. It also makes it illegal to obtain abortion pills for a minor. A conviction for "abortion trafficking" carries a minimum sentence of two years in state prison and a maximum of five years. This is the first anti-abortion bill to prosecute people who travel to states where abortions are legal to undergo the procedure.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Idaho governor signs ban on ‘abortion trafficking’ |url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/idaho-governor-signs-ban-on-abortion-trafficking |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=PBS}}</ref>

=== Marijuana ===
In a January 2019 interview, Little expressed opposition to legalizing recreational marijuana.

When being asked about marijuana legalization in April 2019, Little said: “If Idahoans want legal marijuana, they elected the wrong guy as governor.” [[NORML]], a group advocating the [[Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction|legalization of marijuana]], gave Little an F rating for his policies about reforming marijuana laws.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Betsy Z.|last=Russell|title=Little: If Idahoans want legal marijuana, 'They elected wrong guy as governor'|url=https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/little-if-idahoans-want-legal-marijuana-they-elected-wrong-guy-as-governor/article_f13c3be4-bd74-58e9-8a6c-92d01ba4f2da.html|access-date=2021-11-02|website=Idaho Press|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Idaho|url=https://norml.org/us-governors/idaho/|access-date=2021-11-02|website=NORML|language=en-US}}</ref>

In February 2021, Little signed Senate Bill 1017, which raises the legal [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]] limit in [[cannabidiol]] (CBD) products from 0% to 0.1% THC. The law went into effect on July 1, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=SENATE BILL 1017 – Idaho State Legislature|url=https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2021/legislation/s1017/|access-date=2021-11-02|language=en-US}}</ref>

In April 2021, Little signed a bill that would legalize the cultivation and transportation of hemp in Idaho with up to 0.3% THC in it, making Idaho the final state to do so, but the bill would prohibit the sale of hemp products containing any THC.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-04-19|title=Idaho Gov. signs bill allowing growing, transport of hemp|url=https://apnews.com/article/brad-little-marijuana-idaho-laws-4fb1469a1670d43f70cf12c8b3d68ed5|access-date=2021-11-02|website=AP NEWS|language=en}}</ref>
